Description: His name was John Savage. A strong, resourceful man who had carved a prosperous cattle ranch out of the harsh Arizona landscape. A man whom the people of Tombstone had picked to bring law and order to their violent frontier town. But the price of law and order in a place like Tombstone came high, and Savage was fast turning into a one-man judge, juror and executioner whose ways were as brutal as those of the desperadoes he hunted down. His iron-fisted justice was earning him more than a few enemies in and around town--including a town father who hatched a plan aimed at implicating the sheriff in a robbery. A plan that would slander John Savage's good name and place him dangling at the end of his own noose.
